My Ride: April Delivery 2005 - 545i Orient Blue/Beige Leather. Sport & Premium packages/Navigation/Heads-Up display/Premium Sound/Cold Weather Pkg/Park Distance Control/SMG/Split fold down rear w/ski pkg.
Currently: 2002 - 530i Steel Blue Metalic. Sport & Premium packages/Navigation/Cold Weather Pkg/Split fold down rear w/ski pkg.
I picked up my 545i with a new transmission today. Car feels fantastic! This is the best the car has felt in a long time, and since the last SMG problem 6 months ago.
I'm hoping this is the beginning of a super phase II!

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
Sounds like superior service to me; congrats. Hope it sticks.

I had the same thing, got stuck four times. They replaced things but replacing the transmission did the trick.

I am wondering, in cases like this where something major was replaced, like the transmission, does BMW NA extend one's warranty period? I would assume at least for the transmission, right?

The new M5 has a true sequential transmission, as does my Kawasaki Ninja, so the shifting movements are much simpler.
